A Greater Sudbury man has been charged after a woman was dragged some 200 metres following a two-vehicle collision in the Flour Mill late Saturday morning.

Police say the collision occurred about 10:50 a.m. near Leslie Street. As the female driver of one of the vehicles approached the other vehicle and was talking to the male driver, he suddenly sped off almost running over the woman. In an attempt to protect herself, the woman grabbed onto the side of the man's vehicle and was dragged about 200 metres. The vehicle came to a stop and the male driver ran from the scene.

The woman suffered some non life-threatening injuries.

A canine search of the area resulted in the arrest of the male driver a short distance away. He was charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, driving while suspended, and breach of probation.
